A CONTEMPORARY
LANDSCAPE ARTIST

Inspired by the vastness of horizons and the sublimity of nature.

Lee’s paintings are a celebration of light and space, gentle colours are built up in many layers to create ethereal skies juxtaposed against worn, weathered shorelines slightly faded by time and made more beautiful for the lines and marks that tell their stories.

Lee is drawn to both inner and outer landscapes and the emotional connection that exists between them. Her paintings have a presence of calm offering the viewer the freedom to search for their own stories and sense of place within each piece. It is Lee's hope to resonate peace and stillness in her work, her paintings are a quiet invitation to slow down, to pause and to breathe. Lee works from her studio in Tauranga in the beautiful Bay of Plenty in NZ.

  • “Lee translates energy and emotion onto the canvas through serene colour palates and interesting textures. You are able to discover your own world within the calming landscapes she captures.”

    Leanne Luijken

  • "Lee’s work is created from a clever combination of colour, texture, & light. It has the ability to transport you to the familiar & imagined lands, but most of all to a place of peace & calm."

    Tracy Stamatakos

  • “Lee’s art has been a focal point in our family home. It is a harmonious seascape that feels both real and abstract at the same time. This concept intrigues all of our guests, who relate uniquely to the painting finding individual points of reference within the piece. We fall more in love with our painting as time goes by which is how we know we have acquired something truly special.”

    Meghan Maher

  • "Lee’s stunning paintings have the unique presence that speaks to you at an emotional level. Drawing you in through the skilful and thoughtful juxtaposition between light and space, her work is simply breath-taking. Subtle layers of colour and tone are revealed through changing light and angles – this masterful painting continues to speak to me in a way words cannot express."
